Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy can help those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. By talking about it we can slowly help you to understand, deal with, and eventually accept the event on a personal level. We can also help you manage your reactions to triggers that remind you of the event. We can help you return to a normal life.
Some of our therapists are also trained in "trauma therapy" and can help you to work through it without having to relive it. The aim is to achieve Post Traumatic Growth. This means using the trauma as a motivation for making your life even better.
